Heles is descibed as a God of Destruction on the main character page but as a "warrior" on her profile page, but this is probably a mistake.
Not sure about ヘレス/Heresu. ヘレネス=Hellenes, as in the Greeks, but I don't see an immediate alcohol reference.
(later) Ah, well alright then, "Helles" it is. Thanks for pointing this out everyone! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helles
Helles the type of beer is ヘレス/Heresu in Japanese, while Sherry is typically シェリー/Sherii.
It's true Jerez in Japanese is also ヘレス/Heresu, but this is (usually) used to refer to the city Jerez de la Frontera rather than the alcohol
So that's why I think Helles is most likely the pun, though it's not like Jerez is impossible by any means.

Universe 11 Warrior Toppo
VA: Jiro Saito
Leader of the hero team "Pride Troopers", guardians of peace in Universe 11. A hot-blooded and gigantic warrior of justice. He's so strong that he's even been scouted as a candidate for the next God of Destruction.

Herms commentary:

Toppo (トッポ) may derive from トッポッキ/toppokki, Japanese for the Korean dish tteokbokki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tteokbokki .............in which case I guess "Tteokbo" might be the proper way to spell his name. Let me pause and make up some excuse not to do that.

Source: @Herms98 Herms preface for the new Lavenda bio (we already had Bergamo):

The U9 fighters' bios are so messed up it's kind of amazing.
See if you can spot what's wrong and/or confusing about these official bios:

Universe 9 Warrior: Bergamo
Voice Actor: Eiji Takemoto
Also known as "Poison Bergamo"; the middle brother of Trio the Dangers. A warrior who freely manipulates poison. He always uses poison, and never wins fair-and-square.Universe 9 Warrior: Lavenda
VA: Takeshi Kusao [who plays Trunks]
Also known as "Crusher Bergamo"; eldest brother of Trio the Dangers. A warrior capable of taking his opponent's techniques and turning it into his own power.
[This seems to be a missing period between 長兄 and 相手]

Re: Dragonball Discussion Kai: Last Time, on Dragonball Discussion Z

I'm a bit surprised that the robot and the elephant are counterparts, and not the elephant and the mouse. (Isn't it a cliche that elephants are scared of mice? I remember that was in Donkey Kong Country 3, at least)

Re: Dragonball Discussion Kai: Last Time, on Dragonball Discussion Z

So that buff alien dude that fights Goku in the opening is a super hero.
Considering universe 7 team is mostly formed by former villains and it's Goku fault this tournament even exist I wonder if Toriyama/ Toei are pushing that our heroes are the "baddies" for this arc.
